Susan,

I agree with your information that Hugh descends from Samuel Healy based on the information I found on Healy Census Records also. It is always possible that Patrick Healy is related somehow to Samuel though. However without trying to trace them backwards to when they came to America it will be hard to figure out. I am not a descendent of the Healy's but was interested because of the connection to the Farrell family.

My information is not online but here is the obituary for Hugh Healy's wife. For a while I wasn't sure if Margaret was a daughter of James Levin Brown and Sarah Ellen Farrell until I found this. I suspected she was but hadn't proven it.

MARGARET HEALY
Margaret E. Healy, 96, formerly of 300 E. Hefron St., died at 4:30 a.m. Thursday at the Prairie Village Living Center. She had been in failing health for several years. The funeral will be at 10 a.m. Monday at the St. SimonÕs Church. Interment will be at the St. JohnÕs Cemetery with Fr. David Martin officiating. Visitation will be at the Ed Lee Mortuary from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. A Christian wake service will be at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. Ladies Auxiliary Knights of St. John will conduct a memorial service at 4 p.m. Sunday.

She was born on Sept. 23, 1903, in Martin County, to James L. and Sarah E. (Farrell) Brown. They preceded her in death. She married Hugh Healy on Nov. 19, 1924 and he preceded her in death on July 31, 1988.

Healy, a 1923 Barr-Reeve High School graduate, was a homemaker and St. Simons Church member. She was also a Ladies Auxiliary Knights of St. John member, 40-year community member and had attended Martin and Daviess county schools. Surviving are: three sons, James Robert Healy, Washington; John Healy, Montgomery and Joe Healy, Vincennes; three daughters, Maggie Craney, Montgomery; Betty Henline, Rockville, Ind. and Mary Jo Miller, Lafayette, Ind.; 24 grandchildren; 44 great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild. She was also preceded in death by: two sons, Donald and Leo; four sisters, Mary Ehrhardt, Levada Harris, Susan Gueguen and Odetta McDonald and a brother, Dexter Brown.
(Jan. 13, 2000)

I remember one of my great Aunts talking about the Browns, Harris' and McDonalds. She remembed Dexter Brown. She also mentioned Mary Ehrhardt's name once but couldn't remember exactly where the name fit in to the family.

Samuel Healy married Isabelle/Isabella Gibson 31 Jan 1844 in Daviess County. Samuel Healy died 21 Apr 1857 and is buried in the St. Peters Cemeter. Isabelle/a is not there. I suspect she remarried to a Thomas Maley in 1859 but not sure as I can't find them in later census records. At this time, I do not know if Samuel's first wife came to Indiana or not. She may have died in Kentucky.

I do have a few cemetery records for some of the older Healy's.

John (I believe the son of Samuel) 1837-Nov 10, 1921 buried in St Michaels.
John's wife Mary Ann 1829 - Mar 22, 1922 St. Michaels

James (I believe the son of John and Mary) 1862 Feb 20 1943 St. Michaels
James wife Catherine E. Nov 10, 1860 Feb 21 1932 St Michaels

Simon (I believe the son of John) Sep 7, 1864 Oct 29, 1911 St Michaels
Annie (wife of Simon) Jul 8, 1868 Nov 20 1897 St Michaels

Bridget Lundergan (I believe thedaughter of Samuel) Jan 14, 1840 Mar 17 1930 St Michaels
Michael Lundergan died. Mar 31 1888 St Michaels

I am not sure where Hugh Healy is buried but he may be buried in the St. John's cemetery since that is where Margaret apparently was based on the obituary information.
